Athas is in a crystal sphere. Zalanthas is not

Find out IC.

You're assuming the sun is a red giant and not just the regular old sun behind a haze of red dust and sand.

It's my understanding there are stars in the night. So therefore there must be clear skies which means it isn't a haze of red dust and sand.

But I think I've read there aren't stars, so maybe I'm wrong.

The consensus was that there are stars, but due to all the dust in the atmosphere they are not often visible and not visible everywhere. I would link it but my search-fu is shit and I'm too lazy. It was in 'ask the staff' somewhere, though.

The stars and the sky and the moons all have their own helpfiles, too.

I picture the sky blue and the sands red, in the sky are the sands which make it seem a red haze. In my vision.

And in my vision I see the sun as a brilliant burning yellow that mixed with the hazy red sand filled sky comes off as a glowing orange sphere in a red dulled haze, on good days.

As for sunrises and set i imagine intense hues of purples, reds, oranges and yellows, depending on the thickness of the sands in the sky that day.

This is how I also picture it.

This other thread pertains to this subject.  For those that don't remember it...

So, reading somewhere that Zalanthas has a crimson sky, reflecting the color red, wouldn't that signify that that the main color we might see in the world are mixtures of red? I can't really image what the world appears living under a red sky. Any thoughts?

It's probably not all that different from living under a blue sky.  The sky doesn't turn everything on Earth blue.  The light from the sun is still, for the most part, just white.
